Crystal Ball

Double D, Boston Herald: Oklahoma has battle-tested wins against Florida State and Missouri. Texas is 4-0, but the combined record of its opponents is only 9-9. Facing the Sooners is a jump in class for the young Longhorns and Oklahoma, a double-digit favorite, should bury its rival.

Mike Hlas, Cedar Rapids Gazette: Let all the other false prophets be silent because Hlastradamus has spoken with three winners.

Lenn Robbins, New York Post: The Pigskin Profit is back with his Friday night special. Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore is not 100%, so he's loading up on Fresno State and taking the points.

John Tamanaha, College Football Talk: His hot streak continued last week, and the man is taking Louisiana State and laying the points against Florida.

Reno Gazette-Journal: Two Texas teams and Virginia Tech are getting love from the three handicappers in the college football challenge.

Brett McMurphy, CBS Sports: Arizona could be the best 1-4 team in the country. It will be the best 1-5 team after Saturday's game at Oregon State.

Erick Smith, Campus Rivalry: A letdown for Alabama? Forget about it. The Crimson Tide will roll at Vanderbilt.

Bruce Feldman, CBS Sports: Bill Snyder's Kansas State team has been one of the biggest surprises of the season, but Missouri, coming off a bye week, will be ready for the Wildcats.

Jon Wilner, College Hotline: Colorado's secondary is a mess and Andrew Luck is ready and waiting. Take Stanford and give the points. His national picks include Vanderbilt and the points against Alabama.
